hellooo.. sorry in advance for long post and all the questions lol
Before work Yesterday I noticed a couple small fluffy spots on my axolotl Judys head (1pm). Now that I came home (11pm) she is covered in fluffy white fungus spots, a few on the tips of gills. I’ve started a tank change. I have no containers big enough to tub her tonight. I don’t have any non-iodized salt until tomorrow.
I have read that a q tip can gently rub the spots.. I did that but I’m scared of rubbing off her slime coat so I only did a bit and tried to vacuum the spores.
(wrote this last night. Dave now has a few spots. Picked up aquarium salt just now)
How long do I have before any serious damage sets in?
Will I need to clean the fake plants and filter for the fungus? (Thinking of the good bacteria)
And last question, How do I make this stress free as possible for the 2 of them?
Thanks!
